Sha Sha and Ty Join us in Peebles



The map says it all. Hard core riding in hard core weather.
...
And the boys went riding too. If that’s what you wanna call taking the uplift in the sun.

We were very lucky to have Shark and Ty join us in Peebles - hopping up from London after a speaking engagement in Italy. We rode at Glentress and Inners and steam bathed at the Cardrona. It was good.

Sha and I had planned a more modest circuit on our second day, but actually managed to go extreme, passing wannabe hard cores at many a switch back and making an unexpected summit in style. An awesome video was staged at the top with funny banter and quip quip quip during horizontal rain and gale force winds. Alas, the video was lost (both the lost video and the summit due to human error).

Savvy, baby and Sage junior loved our wee chalet and its crazy stair case. During our outings, the three got passed about from café to café as we ran our necessary toddler management shift pattern. Sav played her part well – a handful of tantrums and some interesting potty training stunts, but enough cuteness to charm us all.

We finished with an October morning in Edinburgh. Would you believe the crazy canucks are coming back for a half marathon in May!? Their insanity is our good fortune!
